Un nuevo servicio reemplazará los mensajes SMS

December 14, 2018 - Un nuevo y más completo servicio de mensajes por móvil está siendo introducido lentamente por los proveedores de servicios de comunicación. Llamado RCS (Rich Communication Services), ha estado en desarrollo durante 10 años y con él se busca reemplazar el sistema SMS (Short Message Service) usado desde 1992.

RCS is a new online protocol that was selected for adoption by the GSM Association in 2008 – a wide body of organisations in the mobile industry, including device, software and internet companies. Because of the number of powerful players involved, it took until 2016 to reach agreement on what makes an acceptable standard.

RCS will add a lot more multimedia capabilities to messaging, ranging from the usual simple texts to longer messages with large attachments, like GIFs and high-resolution images and videos – already features of Apple’s iMessage app, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.

Google’s Android platform has been without a default messaging application capable of such sophistication, which explains why the tech giant is such a strong supporter of RCS and so keen to see it implemented industry-wide.

Other major backers include Microsoft, AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Samsung, Lenovo, and LG – but not yet Apple.
